Growing & using Hidcote Giant Lavender
Lavandula x intemedia varieties of lavender have bigger leaves, longer flower wands and are taller and wider than Lavandula angustifolia varieties. Medium to light purple flowers on long wands make Hidcote Giant very different from the very small,true English variety called simply Hidcote Lavender. Like all L. x intermedia varieites Hidcote Giant Lavender plants are suited better to hotter summer areas.
Hidcote Giant Lavender is one of six plants chosen for our Crafter’s Herb Garden Six Pack Zones 8-11. It would also make a great addition to our Zone 5-11 Fragrant Herb Garden Six Pack.
